Septemball: The window closes. Thank fuck.

[-james-]

Fandom has proper melted rl's brain.

[Pepe]

Í'm out of the loop here. Who did RL rape?

[Lewis]

All these mugs and their muggy arguments.

[Lewis]

fandomlegend :cool:

[Spikey M]

He’s not though. It’s just another RL pile-on.

I'm doubtful he'd be acting as head defence lawyer had Ronny not started wearing red again.

[Giggles]

I'm doubtful he'd be acting as head defence lawyer had Ronny not started wearing red again.

The very same as nobody else would have even mentioned it had he not started wearing red again. Are we seeing both ends of the fanboy thing there then?

[Spikey M]

Opposing football fans using old news to take the piss out of their rivals new big signing? Who'd have thought it? It's the same as the bad driver jibes that Marcos Alonso got.

The difference is Jimmy didnt pipe up with a load of skidmark analysis and impact reviews to evidence why it's his passenger's fault that she died.

[phonics]

Do you think someone here was the person who sent the banner over the pitch or do you think Lewis is a die-hard anyone but United person. Because that’s how it came about.

[randomlegend]

The difference is Jimmy didnt pipe up with a load of skidmark analysis and impact reviews to evidence why it's his passenger's fault that she died.

I never said or implied it was her fault or made any derogatory comment about her whatsoever.

Marcos Alonso was convicted by a court.

[Spikey M]

I never said or implied it was her fault or made any derogatory comment about her whatsoever.

Marcos Alonso was convicted by a court.

You've missed the point I was making. His guilt is irrelevant. Jimmy didn't avoid leaping to his defence because of his undying respect for the Spanish legal system. He did so because he hates women he doesn't know the bloke. He's just fella that happens to play for the team he likes most.

The same applies here. There's no blood on your hands or pussy juice under your fingernails. Just enjoy the game and stop fretting about what he may or may not have done. He's a professional footballer, he will be a massive cunt in one way or another. They all are.

[randomlegend]

It doesn't matter who he is or which football team he plays for. I think it's wrong calling people rapists based on flimsy evidence who've never been convicted of anything.

I would have said the same if it was someone non-famous being discussed in the news thread or a Tory MP in the Politics thread.

It's not my fault you all start foaming at the mouth the moment I post anything even temporally related to Man Utd.

[Spikey M]

I must have missed your defence of Neymar and Mendy.

[randomlegend]

I must have missed your defence of Neymar and Mendy.

I haven't seen either of them being called rapists on here to comment.

Mendy is also remanded in custody awaiting trial so I'd suggest the burden of evidence against him is probably quite high, although I don't pretend to know exactly how stuff like that works. Even so, innocent until proven guilty.

[randomlegend]

Having done a quick search, it's telling that there's only one comment in this thread as far as I can see on Mendy's rape charges and it's about him having a meltdown because he thought he would be in the VIP wing. That despite his arrest being much more recent than anything that happened with Ronaldo and him being actually held in prison awaiting trial.

But you're right, it's definitely me who's got the unhealthy obsession with United and its players.

[Baz]

Did you search the August thread, when it came out?

[randomlegend]

Did you search the August thread, when it came out?

Yes. There's 3 posts in there, all of them just commenting on the facts of what's happened (he's been remanded, four counts of rape) and none of them calling him a rapist.

[Spikey M]

Can I have some links to your defence of Jimmy Saville then?

[randomlegend]

I'm 99% sure I made a similar post about Adam Johnson when those accusations first came out. A Man City player no less. But that would be lost to the old board.

[Kikó]

For the clarity of doubt, if Ronaldo signed for city I would have said it was in brand for that team full of molesters and rapists. But he didn't so hands off.

[Yevrah]

I don't wish to defend RL's fanboyism, but I can absolutely see why Ronaldo settled out of court without necessarily being guilty.

Time is the most valuable commodity any of us have and he was able to pay to protect his because he can quite easily afford it. In addition the trial itself would have no doubt shed a lot of light on his personal life, which let's face it is fucking odd without anyone really having even scratched the surface of it and at the end of it all there was a chance (no matter how small) he could have gone to prison. Even if he didn't, the no smoke without fire stuff is always there.

I'd like to think if I was innocent and accused of such a crime I'd do everything I could to clear my name, but then I'm not a millionaire hundreds of times over and I can see how it would be very tempting to make all of the above (bar no smoke without fire, which you'll never lose either way) go away.

[Manc]

I think Spikey hit the nail on his tiny head. Rape cases are openly lolled out of court on the regular. Only a guilty man dips into his wallet.

[Lewis]

That story about Mendy thinking the VP wing was the 'VIP wing' and throwing a wobbler when he got there was hilarious. I can't see it being topped all season.

[Yevrah]

I think Spikey hit the nail on his tiny head. Rape cases are openly lolled out of court on the regular. Only a guilty man dips into his wallet.

Ronaldo going to court for rape would be anything but 'on the regular'.

[Shindig]

Sure, they can pay people off to avoid the bother and not be a rapist. For example covering up an affair or something.

[Spikey M]

The police must get reports from weirdo's about having been raped by footballers all the time. If anything, getting a conviction against a footballer for it must be even harder than against your average Joe

[randomlegend]

Hilarious how Yev's post gets an entirely different response to mine despite giving the exact same reasons why someone innocent might agree to a pay off.

i'D lOvE tO SeE yOu TrY tO eXpLaIn ThAt ThEoRy To ThE bRoOm YoU iNcEl.

Bunch of cretins

[Lewis]

There must be loads of pay-offs to women in football. Rugby players are always being accused of sexual assault and violence, so the working class thickos in football, plus all the foreigners who treat women like shit, are either very well educated and protected or spraying cash all over the place.

[Spikey M]

Yev wrote an award winning sit-com hanging out the back of a brass, he's no Incel.

[Kikó]

Yev explained it much better than RL imo.

[randomlegend]

Fuck off.

[Luke Emia]

So we all agree he is a rapist then?

[Manc]

RL? Yes.

[igor_balis]

Went to the Hawthorns yesterday for the first time in about 7 years, didn't realise how much I'd missed it until I was there.

I've felt super disconnected from the team and not really given a shit for ages, and within 10 minutes of kickoff i was fully invested again. Only 23 quid for my ticket and 2.50 train from Rugby, which is ridiculous.

[Yevrah]

Perhaps more interestingly to me on the subject of Ronaldo, does anyone know how much Utd are paying him?

[Waffdon]

1.2 million a week

[Spikey M]

1.2 million a week

Before or after rape pay offs tax?

[Kikó]

1.2 million a week

This is complete fantasy.

[Waffdon]

I know, I was just waiting on RL to bite and throw another hissy fit

[randomlegend]

1.2 million a week

You're still really bad at this.

[Waffdon]

You support rapists, mate

[randomlegend]

It's like watching a baby trying to open a safe.

[Shindig]

You can't technically support a rapist if you don't believe they've done it.

[Waffdon]

Klopp looks horrendous without his specs

[Waffdon]

Alexander Arnold defending a 1v1 is a funny sight

[niko_cee]

This feels a bit like last season. Should be out of sight really.

[Magic]

It's unreal how you're not at least 3 up.

[Alex]

Aye. We look constantly overrun at the back. Firpo versus Salah is a mismatch for the ages.

[randomlegend]

Sounds like they could do with an elite finisher. Someone like Ronaldo perhaps.

[Shindig]

It's his first touch that's the problem.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mane is constantly throwing himself to the floor.

[Gray Fox]

Oh no.

My poor boy :(

[Baz]

Nasty break that

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RIP in pieces.

[Danny]

On first viewing it didnt look that bad but rewinding it looks like his ankle is done.

lol at that not being a card until he didnt get up.

[Magic]

Stream is buffering to fuck. Deserved red?

[Giggles]

Who was it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The challenge didn't even look that bad tbh.

[Danny]

https://streamwo.com/lA7FVwq

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's only got a red due to the outcome, that's barely a yellow in reality.

[John Arne]

Looks like he's completely snapped his lower leg.

[Giggles]

Fucking someone pointless like Elliott. I know my hopes were too high for van dijk or Mane but we could at least have got a mid tier player.

[Magic]

Fucking hell hardly a red...

[Magic]

Fucking someone pointless like Elliott. I know my hopes were too high for van dijk or Mane but we could at least have got a mid tier player.

Bizarre from the man so intent on protecting others.

[Guybrush]

Fucking someone pointless like Elliott. I know my hopes were too high for van dijk or Mane but we could at least have got a mid tier player.

Give it a fucking rest.

[niko_cee]

Probably been Liverpool's best midfielder this season. Shame for him.

[Giggles]

Give it a fucking rest.

Thanks for the input Jennifer Garner.

[niko_cee]

Shame it wasn't Thiago that got wrecked.

[Kikó]

It's not a reckless challenge in the sense that he's not flown in or really intended to connect with the man but obviously with the outcome, I think there is only one result. Shit to see a young kid get snapped, hopefully it mends relatively quickly.

[Luke Emia]

Sounds like they could do with an elite finisher. Someone like Ronaldo perhaps.

No rapists policy at our club. Racists only please.

[Yevrah]

It's a shame, but Leeds are a bit of a joke, aren't they?

Mane will never have more space in his career than he has in this game.

[Alex]

It's a shame, but Leeds are a bit of a joke, aren't they?

Mane will never have more space in his career than he has in this game.

Woeful today.

We need jumpstarting and quickly, because we will go down playing like we are at the moment. I'm not sure exactly what form said jumpstart would take though, worryingly.

Nuke needed there.

Christ.

Your stereotypical "rugby lads" are such an insufferable collection of drips.

[Don]

We're looking as good as we've ever looked and squad strength is much stronger than ever. If TAA, Alisson, Fab and the 2 front boys stay fit, we don all fronts.

[Dquincy]

Loving the confidence, Taz. But our young starlet midfielder just died today and our back-up striker is Origi.

[Don]

Elliott was unreal wonderkid levels which seems to have made people forget that in Jones we have England's second best midfield prospect. If he was proper BLM and played in Bundesliga he'd get the proper recognition.

What's this Neville/Carragher [twitter] spat all about then? Looks hilarious from the BBC reporting.

[Waffdon]

It’s not real. They’re best mates, as much as they try not to be.

[Kikó]

Not like Carragher to have something to do with spit.

[Lofty]

Should have paid them off out of court, obviously.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Gary Neville calling someone else a gobshite is some going.

[Bernanke]

8 points behind Napoli after 3 games. :happycry:

As well as Roma & Milan :happycry:

[Lewis]

*Jose Mourinho's Roma

[randomlegend]

Mourinho of 10-15 years ago would never have celebrated that last minute goal in a random league match like it was the Porto winner against United just because it was some arbitrary landmark in how many games he's managed.

Small time as fuck.

[phonics]

Yeah Jose Mourinho has never been incredibly small time over arbitrary issues that make him look good.

[randomlegend]

He would not have seen reaching 1000 games in management as something that makes him look good 10 years ago.

[phonics]

Mate he claimed the Charity Shield as part of a Treble. He is Mr. smalltime.

[Lewis]

A thousand games at the toppest level is an achievement, even if he has been living on his reputation for years.

[randomlegend]

He'd 100 percent have been saying shit like "I don't care how many games I manage, all that matters is what I win" when he was good.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He wouldn't. Even at his peak at Chelsea 04-06 he was always shilling for himself. 'I am the special one' being the red carpet premiere.

[Dquincy]

Mourinho of 10-15 years ago would never have celebrated that last minute goal in a random league match like it was the Porto winner against United just because it was some arbitrary landmark in how many games he's managed.

Small time as fuck.

If he was still at United, you'd be creaming yourself over his celebration...and protecting him from rape allegations.

[randomlegend]

I hated Mourinho at United from start to finish, and james I'd imagine has the spreadsheet of my posts to prove it.

[Lewis]

"So, as you guys will be aware, you finish your dinner and usually on a Friday night you've got some cheat stuff out," [Lee] Grant told TalkSPORT. "You've got some apple crumble and custard or you've got a bit of brownie and cream or whatnot. I tell you now, not one player touched the apple crumble and custard, not one player went up for that brownie because everybody was sat down. One of the lads said to me, 'What has Cristiano got on his plate?' So we were having a little goosey gander at what he has got and obviously it is the cleanest, most healthy plate you can imagine. And it just cracked me up how not one single player dared get up and have that junk food that was laid out."

[SvN]

Cheeseburger (plain)

[Jimmy Floyd]

The phrase 'a little goosey gander' in relation to Cristiano Ronaldo's lunch has finished me off.

[Shindig]

"He's lobbying to get rid of the Lucozade in the vending machines. Drunk with power."

Don

To ensure no arguments at the end, I presume for our bet we are including club goals in all competitions but not international goals?

[Lewis]

Carragher and Neville seem like they genuinely dislike each other tonight. Not in a fun drama way, it's just a bit uncomfortable.

I think it's more Gary Neville takes himself more seriously than anyone else alive, and Jamie Carragher 1) realises that; and 2) is still an aggressive enough Scouse idiot that he can't let Neville get one over him.

[Yevrah]

He signed July 2018 so this is his fourth season.

Whaaaat

[randomlegend]

2 appearances. Lol.

[Ian]

What a life.

I could never play for United for half of what he's earning. And I'm doing it for free like an idiot.

[Lewis]

Leeg Rant. Should have won them the Europa League shoot-out and gone down in United folklore, but silly bollocks forgot how many subs he was allowed.

[phonics]

This is his second season.

I knew this wasn’t the case because there is simply no chance of me being aware of his existence if it was only two seasons.

[Baz]

Heard much about these Amine Gouiri rumours, Gray Fox?

[Gray Fox]

There was one saying Klopp has accepted Firmino will move on next year and has asked for this kid to replace him, but nothing concrete.

[Lofty]

If only Moyes had signed Ronaldo, his chip ban would have sailed through.

[Don]

Not sure if that playing football thread is still about but having got involved in a Sunday league affair recently, I'm wondering why the FA haven't brought pre-match handshakes into the grassroots game (COVID aside obvs), I reckon it'd defuse a lot of the animosity that usually leads to the handbags from the gammons. It's never been a thing at grassroots, right?

[randomlegend]

Donny is start.

[Yevrah]

My first foray into BT Sport's Champions League coverage this. Exciting.

[Yevrah]

Why don't they have a desk?

[Lewis]

Donny is start.

That BBC graphic with him on the left and Paulp Ogba in the centre can't be right.

[Manc]

RL has officially become a bot.

[Ian]

That BBC graphic with him on the left and Paulp Ogba in the centre can't be right.

I thought that. Also must be some clerical error that's apparently causing Sancho to start in his best position.

[Jimmy Floyd]

My first foray into BT Sport's Champions League coverage this. Exciting.

Likewise. I've now properly made it to middle class family life. Just without the family, or the life.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hang on, David Wagner? His European clubs R rate must be sky high. Flatten the curve.

[Yevrah]

Did you get Sky too Jim?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I got Sky avec BT aussi in about May or something. Mainly for other sports, it must be said, but I haven't watched any European football (other than the odd Chelsea game in a pub) for about 5 years now so it's nice novelty.

The theme tune!

[Yevrah]

Same here on not watching much European football recently.

If UEFA were competent, they'd have games on at 6, 8 and 10 across both days, but two tonight is pretty cool.

[Baz]

Champions League football > *

1-0 Ronaldo :drool:

Good effort. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was such a good ball by Fernandes too.

[randomlegend]

Free-kick in perfect range for Ronaldo to send one into the stands :drool:

[Yevrah]

Has to be said, Jadon Sancho has looked proper wank so far in a Utd shirt.

[randomlegend]

I was at work for the last game but heard he was better. But yeah he's taking a bit of time to get going.

Sending on Matic to try and hold the point, lol.

[Cord]

Oh my days :lol:

That was looking like a decent point.

[Ian]

It's a pity that was completely predictable from how Ole reacted to it.

When something goes wrong it's important to shit your pants as hard as possible and totally give up on any idea of doing anything else in the game.

[randomlegend]

That was not very good.

[Cord]

Enjoyed Ole employing a random substitution generator in that game. Dare I suggest he clearly hadn't put the remotest thought into how he'd play if the team went down to 10 men before this game?

[Shindig]

Can't be that hard just to jig it around so you get someone to replace Wan-Bissaka? Sacrifice a man up top but keep the midfield and defensive shape.

[Ian]

Enjoyed Ole employing a random substitution generator in that game. Dare I suggest he clearly hadn't put the remotest thought into how he'd play if the team went down to 10 men before this game?

Personally I think it was a massive dereliction of duty on Fernandes' behalf to not sort that out for him.

[randomlegend]

Can't be that hard just to jig it around so you get someone to replace Wan-Bissaka? Sacrifice a man up top but keep the midfield and defensive shape.

Well that's initially what he did, taking Sancho off for Dalot. We were getting completely over-run so he tried going 5 at the back from half-time but it didn't help at all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Can't be that hard just to jig it around so you get someone to replace Wan-Bissaka? Sacrifice a man up top but keep the midfield and defensive shape.

He brought on Dalot for Sancho as soon as it happened but then had every single man behind the ball constantly.

We barely ever got into their half after the red card because everyone was sat back trying to hold onto the 1 goal lead.

[Shindig]

Oof. I'll be honest, I don't know who's best suited to break up the midfield for United. I guess that's why he brought on Matic but it clearly didn't produce much.

[Spikey M]

That's not the first time Ronaldo has been weak around Young Boys.

[Ian]

Oof. I'll be honest, I don't know who's best suited to break up the midfield for United. I guess that's why he brought on Matic but it clearly didn't produce much.

Ole is blind to the fact that Matic is well past it. What he subs on is his idea of Matic, some destroyer-in-chief, not the reality, a fella who mooches about not actually being good at very much any more.

[Shindig]

"Fortunately, we have a good holding midfielder right here ..." <sends Carrick out wearing Matic's shirt>

[randomlegend]

This game is the perfect example of why I said before the season we won't win anything having not brought in a top quality midfielder. There's nobody in the squad who can run the midfield in difficult situations like that one.

[Cord]

Sending Matic on was also an acknowledgement he screwed up subbing Van De Beek.

They may be good, even great, players on their day, but I don't think you can get away with Ronaldo, Pogba and Bruno as the front three in that scenario with everyone else circling the wagons in the box. Not enough speed or movement or effort, frankly.

[Don]

I'm hearing you've been a bit unlucky with opponents not employing the low block that your £80m playmaker thrives in. Give him time.

And Pogba, Bruno, Rapist in a team of 10 must have been bants. Go suck many dicks :D

[Lewis]

This game is the perfect example of why I said before the season we won't win anything having not brought in a top quality midfielder. There's nobody in the squad who can run the midfield in difficult situations like that one.

He could have taken Paulp Ogba off for a right-back and been left with a solid midfield three and two fast attackers - one of which is Ronaldo, who takes up three markers - left on the pitch. But that would have meant taking his second biggest name off, so obviously not happening.

[randomlegend]

Pogba started on the left wing. So after he took Sancho off, the theoretical midfield 3 was the same as the one you've just suggested and it absolutely wasn't working. It wasn't til half-time he changed it to 3 at the back and took Van de Beek off.

[Kikó]

Ole Gunnar Binman strikes again.

[Dquincy]

[Jimmy Floyd]

United deserved defeat simply for playing in that dreadful kit instead of red. Why not play in red ffs? You're Manchester United and they play in yellow. Fuck you.

[randomlegend]

Do the teams get to decide which kit they play in?

[Jimmy Floyd]

For all competition matches, the home club has the first choice as to which of its official playing attires announced on the playing attire approval form it wears for its home matches. In the qualifying phase, the clubs agree on the colours to be worn from the playing attires announced on their playing attire approval form. If the clubs are unable to agree on the colours to be worn by their teams, they inform the UEFA administration, who takes a final decision. As of the play-offs, the UEFA administration proposes which colours should be worn. The proposals can be changed at the request of the clubs provided that the alternative solution does not lead to clashes in any part of the attires. If no agreement can be found, the UEFA administration takes a final decision.

I've read that three times and I still don't know whether to protest outside Old Trafford or outside UEFA HQ.

[Raoul Duke]

Nice to see Barca get a spanking. They've just bought on someone called "Yusuf Demir", who definitely isn't real

[Gray Fox]

Not only have they been shockingly managed in the past, but they have Pedri, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele all set to walk away for free in the summer. All very lol for various reasons.

[randomlegend]

I've read that three times and I still don't know whether to protest outside Old Trafford or outside UEFA HQ.

Same.

I always assumed you had to wear your away kit if you were away, and third kits existed for times where the away kit clashed with the home teams kit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lewandowski :cool:

[Don]

Mans are doing tactical dissections of Man Utd as if that useless cunt has the ability to instill any :happycry:

[Baz]

Rio: I put Chelsea and Man City above Man Utd at the moment.

Man City haven't played yet.

Calm your tits.

Virgin do the excellent Fives though.

Funny, I was going to mention that's the only reason I have the app.

You should get the LivescoreBet app too cos they have the exact same game, called Squads, only players are released at 2pm rather than 1pm. Oh and 50p is an option on the spinning wheel, lol.

[Alex]

The Pascal Struijk ban has been upheld by the FA, so we're going into the Newcastle game on Friday with one available centre back. And that centre back is Liam Cooper. Probably paired with Luke Ayling out of position. Saint-Maximin is very possibly about to run riot.

Top shout that, shocked you didn't have a referral link for it though ;)

When did LiveScore start having live games?Turns out the internet’s buzzing over this. It’s exclusive to Ireland though. :sherlock:

If anyone’s struggling for a stream for champions league games you can watch them on the LiveScore app if you use a VPN to spoof your location to Ireland. I pay for SurfShark (https://surfshark.club/friend/3vF6RtTP) but you could try using Windscribe free (https://windscribe.com/?friend=elfx1nwk). (Yes they’re referral links, lofty, but they’ll give you 30 free days / extra monthly bandwidth respectively. There’s also codes for Windscribe KOMPUTER and EXPAND20 and BAKTA420 but may have expired now)

[Giggles]

Can’t see it lasting long if that’s all it takes for anyone to watch.

[-james-]

Man Utd bought the wrong English Dortmund kid.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Blimey, Sheriff are not hanging about.

[Yevrah]

Enjoying BT's coverage Jim? Which game are you on later?

Predictably I'll be watching PSG.

The studio stuff is horseshit tbh, but the actual football time is good and a bit less deadly fucking serious than it is on Sky.

I was going to watch Liverpool-Meelan but that likely sends me straight into the yammering jaws of Steve McManaman, so I dunno.

[Ian]

BT's studio stuff is awful, awful stuff. 15 minutes of ads at half time would genuinely be preferable.

Of course I just mute it anyway and do something else but y'know, if watching it or 15 minutes of ads were the two options.

[Yevrah]

I still don't understand why they don't have a desk.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I still haven't got around Klopp with no glasses. It looks like an actor playing him.

[Manc]

I see Zlatan has bottled it.

[Yevrah]

Manchester United have lost seven of their 11 UEFA Champions League matches under Ole Gunnar Solskjær

That is top binmaning.

[Ian]

That is top binmaning.

I saw that mentioned In Liew's article, which also has this belter:

Solskjær sought to turn the spotlight on the 32-year-old referee for failing to award a penalty to Ronaldo early in the second half. “Sometimes you get it with young refs,” he said, nonchalantly. While there are certain areas in which Solskjær can legitimately be challenged, when it comes to people being promoted into important footballing roles with only the most negligible experience, it is probably best to defer to his judgment.

[Gray Fox]

But, but, but... he can't defend!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Salah :harold:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've had to switch over to Inter v Real Madrid after 12 minutes, sadly Milan are not of European standard.

[Yevrah]

Bruges/PSG is pretty shit so far, albeit it is now 1-1.

[Dquincy]

Origi just isn't very good is he.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The third Ajax goal is :drool:

Edit:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Liverpool :eyemouth:

[Yevrah]

What the fuck are Liverpool doing?

[Gray Fox]

This is very 2017 Liverpool.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

But, but, but... he can't defend!

He's done so well so far.

[Dquincy]

Fucks sake Liverpool. All their own fault. Impotent pricks.

[Don]

God I love this game. Why are we capable of perfect football in the first 20 mins of an Anfield game? Just because. And Milan are fucking tidy in possession.

[Spoonsky]

:cab:

[-james-]

PSG are absolutely rubbish.

[Dquincy]

Get the Ox on.

[randomlegend]

Is Ander Herrera PSGs top scorer so far this season?

[Gray Fox]

Get the Ox on.

There's no need for desperation yet.

[Dquincy]

Should have been 1-3 down and a minute later it's 2-2. Football ruddy football.

[Dquincy]

There's no need for desperation yet.

What's wrong with the Ox? Lame duck since the injury??

[Don]

Fabinho is the world's best player, don't get it twisted. Kante minus the dwarfism.

[Gray Fox]

What's wrong with the Ox? Lame duck since the injury??

He's never been the same unfortunately for the lad. Klopp seems to want to reinvent him as a Frimino substitute but I don't think it really works.

[Spoonsky]

Gerrard-esque

[Spoonsky]

Sandro Tonali is just Adam Driver.

[Manc]

Just the four goals for West Ham reject Sebastien Haller.

[Waffdon]

Jack Hendry donning PSG senseless

[Mike]

Fabinho is the world's best player, don't get it twisted. Kante minus the dwarfism.

He is outstanding.

Great match that.

[Boydy]

Good match but I'd have enjoyed it more if I hadn't had to refresh my stream every 5 minutes.

[Spoonsky]

Pepe posted this last weekend and it's been brilliant for me.

Man Utd bought the wrong English Dortmund kid.

This is so true it hurts. How do you watch the two of them and decide to go for the flakey Aaron Lennon regen when the other is literally the second-coming of a Pogba/KDB level talent that ensures team success for the next decade.
